Open Space - November 2025: Allotment Mediation

With Marian Liebmann

Marian Liebmann is a longtime mediator, mostly with Resolve West, helping to resolve neighbour disputes, also facilitating restorative justice meetings in the criminal justice system. She has also helped with workplace issues. She has trained many people around the world, especially in Africa and Eastern Europe (Serbia mainly).

Marian also has an allotment in Bristol, which she shares with a refugee she has known for many years. Recently she saw an opportunity to mediate in a conflict on the allotment site, and she will tell the story. She may also mention some other situations where she intervened informally.
